Community-based organizations across the Estuary work every day to address shared concerns such as poor water quality, public access, flooding, extreme heat, habitat loss, and emerging contaminants like microplastics. Through advocacy, stewardship, and community engagement, they help shape solutions that strengthen the health of the Estuary while improving the quality of life for waterfront communities. At the same time, many of these same groups face capacity challenges around funding, staff, technology, and leadership, all of which can limit their growth and ability to deliver on their mission over time.
What we’re doing: To help address these needs, the NY-NJ Harbor & Estuary Program (HEP) is launching a new training series, From Capacity to Impact: Skill Building Trainings to Collectively Strengthen our Estuary. The series is designed to share practical tools and resources with partners that can help strengthen their organizational capacity and maximize the impact of our shared efforts.
